This important message deals with the work of God in changing the heart of man. Without this reality within the churches -- we inevitably suffer compromise at a foundational level. I believe the single greatest issue in our times is that people are not truly being born again, but are making a "decision" that leaves them unchanged and unable to live the Christian life.

God provides us with the grace and gifts necessary to rightly represent Him in the earth, but we are always in danger of losing them through neglect or full-blown sin. Some have lost their cutting edge and believe it is irretrievable. Yet if we will cry out to God -- the cross of Christ has guaranteed our restoration and the...

Understand that real study is real work. If a man is successful at feeding the sheep, it is because of the great amount of laboring in the word that he is willing to do. A man may perfunctorily preach and teach, and it be little effort, but not if a man obeys God and executes the responsibility biblically. It is a tremendous effort. It is the most important thing -- even more important than visiting the sheep. In fact, the same Peter that took the charge to feed the flock of God in John...

In this insightful and thought-provoking book, Robert Wurtz II traces the history of Christian evangelism from the book of Acts to modern times. The contrast between pre-1900 and post-1900 evangelism is so sharp, that the book is divided into two sections: Part 1, the pre-Billy Sunday era and Part 2, the post-Billy Sunday evangelistic era. This book is a must-read for anyone who has concerns about issues such as "the sinner's prayer" or shallow concepts of conversion. We are in danger...

This audio reading deals with the subject of unforgiveness from a New Covenant perspective. God is determined to forgive us, He cheerfully forgives us, casting our sin behind His back desiring to remember them no more "as" we forgive our debtors. This is the unassailable axiom of forgiveness. When we are forgiven, God is determined that we will pass on that same blessedness to others.
